Intro
Many organizations and individuals around
the world have identified the need for research as a top priority to
forward youth involvement, activism, action, and participation.
There is also a need to develop a comprehensive agenda that will guide
students, researchers, professionals, and the foundations that fund them.
Likewise, many youth organizations want to get connected, learn about
other organizations, get resources, and find out about social change
around the world.
Resources
The following resources are from
around the world. They are research organizations, publications,
and websites that provide information about young people and social
change. None of the following topics are independent of each other;
each is simply categorized to give some inclination about what is
available.
